- The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus - Continue on to the Ancient Theater of Epidaurus, a 4th-century theatre which is one of the best-preserved Classical Greek structures in existence. It is renowned for its amazing acoustics; a coin dropped in the theatre’s center can be heard from the highest seat.

- Nafplio - Last but no least , make a stop in the picturesque city of Nafplion, which was the first capital of Greece after Independence and has been a major port since the Bronze Age. Its position was so strategic that the city has 3 fortresses: the massive fortress of Palamidi, the smaller Akronafplia, and the water castle Bourtzi on an islet west of the old town. Stroll through the attractive narrow streets, and admire the elegant Venetian houses, neoclassical mansions, and quayside cafes.
Take the opportunity to go shopping, eat in a traditional restaurant, chill out at the cafes in the picturesque port, or when in summer take a swim in the crystal waters at Arvanitia beach.
Then we head back to Athens in a 2 hours drive throught the countryside

A very full day - It amazes me how they built these castles and fortresses. Scenery is outstanding. Nafplio is beautiful and would love to return and stay for a few days.

In the footsteps of the Gods . - The trip was a wonderful experience. We were taken by George a very knowledgeable and excellent guide. He related historical events peppered with humorous stories and looked after us with great care and attention throughout the trip. Thank you George for being so interesting, patient and considerate!!
We thoroughly recommend this wonderful experience! We walked in the footsteps of Agamemnon, Clytemnestra and Asklepios, to mention but a few. Altogether an experience not to be missed.

An Amazing day of travel and education - We had an incredible day at Mycenae, Nafplio & Epidaurus, which was very professionally led by Dido. It is ambitious to do all this in one day, but Dido did it effortlessly. We learned and saw a lot. It was just enough time at each place. I would highly recommend this to everyone.

Trip to Mycenae and Epidaurus - Well-organized. Charming and knowledgeable guide (Dido). This trip is an efficient and enjoyable way to visit multiple ancient sites without hassle and good communication. Balanced structured and unstructured time during this trip.

Very interesting - Indispensable tour if you are staying in Athens and want to visit these 3 cities.
The expected time for the visit to the archaeological sites is more or less 1 hour. You make a stop to eat / leisure.
The guide provides some information during the duration of the trip.
You have the option to use the virtual device (provided by them) that allows you to visit the attractions with more information.

Highly recommend - I couldn’t decide on which tour to do and my heart settled on the MYCENAE, EPIDAURUS, NAFPLIO DAY TOUR. I have zero regrets and am still in awe of all I saw and experienced.
Vasilis was great. Good with communication and when there were issues with finding the bus, he called me and came to get me.
It was a whole day but didn’t feel like you’re stuck on the bus the whole time and without random stops and forced to pay for bad lunches.
Doesn’t include entry tickets, this is additional 40€.
They provide a headset which I found easiest to listen to on the bus beforehand and then get out and explore.
Wish we had longer in Nafplio but still amazing.
Easy with pickup and drop off. Highly recommend packing water and lunch if you can.

Awesome wedding anniversary trip - This was our wedding anniversary trip and it was amazing. Eleftheria our guide was really friendly and helpful, the trip took us to places we have both wanted to see all our lives and it did not disappoint.
The one thing I would have changed would be to have spent a little longer in each place. Especially Nafplio,

Trip worth taking but keep in mind: - As far as the sight, everything being on time and easy it was. The bus was a bit busted, I have to say. Nina was really good in leading the group logistaically however commentary and insight was a little sparce or we could barely hear her. The phones you get show the illustration of how the sight used to look like but the info was also limited there. If you want more in depth description of history and on sight explenations go for a traditional tour or prepare in advance. Nafplio here is more of a recharge spot, it was raining pretty hard so it didn't really allow for exploration.

LACKING IN CUSTOMER PRINCIPLES - Having traveled in over 90 countries ( been 6 times in Athens) & have taken many tours ( 4 in Athens with other companies) . I've found this to be the worst experience. If you lose communications / your phone crashes etc at /near pickup time you are out of luck-they will not go & check if you are there. NO TOUR & NO REFUND ( not that I cared about the money spent on this , ITS THE PRINCIPLES of customer service.1 .We commicated with the tour operator the night before, stating our pickup point ( which they had given - one of 4). I also , gave them a description of my clothing & my partners dress, so if anything occurs they could identify us. 2. We had communication with the tour operator the next morning on day of tour and info'd them we were at the pickup point given ( 0730, half an hour prior to pickup time which was 0800hrs).I was leaning on the exact pickup point sign- so easy to see. 3. The pickup point was total chaos, lots of folk & many many buses arriving & leaving. We checked the frontage of every bus for company/ tour signage.We asked a couple of the druvers/ guides too. Nothing. 4. We noted tour operators were getting off their buses & calling out passengers names & moving amongst the crowd of waiting folk, & checking their backing boards & gathering up folk. This didn't happen with this tour operator, least we would have seen/ heard such, checked a couple of the operators to see if we were on their list around pickup tjme. NOTHING.5. For whatever reason at critical time 0800hrs I could not get communication( phone call) on my phone with the tour guide.(& try as I might it would cut out with guide) This went on for around 15 to 30mins. Then they finally set a message not a phone call- a txt message, which I received informing me that the tour bus had already left the stop and gone on their way. NO TOUR FOR US. We were leaving the next day for New Zealand , so I asked for a refund - for services not rendered, which to me is reasonable.. This company refused such. My advice- ( speaking from experiences)- DO NOT USE THIS TOUR COMPANY , there are more considerate & customer friendly tour companies in Athens , which I have used in the past.. Such terrible service.

Horrible - The big bus was completely packed. It felt claustrophobic .AC was not effective. The seats had a damp smell. The time given at Nafplion around 75 minutes was too less. More than half the time was spent in bus
